My profile

Hi!!! My name is Swan! I am 30 years old and pregnant with my 4th & 5th children. By the way, we just found out it was twins at our 18wk appt on 5-8-08!!! At first it was only one baby...lol I have 3 daughters now ages are 11, 9, and 7. I am very excited yet nervous about the birth of these twins.. I recently lost 2 children back to back. One son on June 30, 2006 at 26 weeks due to a twisted umbilical cord and another son at 16 weeks on September 27,2007 due to Trisomy 18. I am so nervous about this pregnancy but I pray and hope that they will come into this world healthy. As for now, all ultrasounds and blood work have come back great. The doctor says that everything is looking fine. Your prayers and comments are greatly appreciated. One Love!!!

Congrats to you!! Twins are a double blessing! I am only 5 weeks and I have a beautiful 8 month old daughter, so they'll be very close in age. Thats the good thing about having kids close in age! You and your babies are in my prayers!


reg03dlg06 - Saturday, 26 July
Hey... How are you doing??? How are the babies?


londa6985 - Saturday, 26 July
Congratulations on your new editions. I'll keep you and your babies in my prayers.


dereksgirl - Friday, 25 July
hi Swan! Saw your comment on the twin site, and wanted to say a quick hi..sounds like your ploddin' along like the rest of us! How are your other kids doing with this pregnancy? are they excited? What type of delivery do you plan to have? I'm going for a normal birth rather than c-cection, although I know that the best laid plans can go awry.


TwinMama08 - Friday, 25 July
I am miserable too, at night lol. I have been using pillows and have tried tylenol but that never works for me. My back had started to hurt as well. I hope you start to feel better. How far does your dr. think your make it?


cantwaittoseemybaby - Wednesday, 23 July
Exactly. I told him when she was born that she was my baby and I meant every word of it. lol


cantwaittoseemybaby - Wednesday, 23 July
Family can be a trip. I am my mother's only child and my step sisters and brothers are in NJ. I'm not going to stress it. I brought clothes for her a couple of months ago. A car seat isn't nothing to get. I will just get things slowly but surely and if my mom wants to contribute then fine if not oh well. My boyfriend and I made my little girl so we will take care of her regardless. Girl my daughter's father isn't thinking about a visit at all. He doesn't even call her so that's on him. I don't care anymore because my baby is fine with me and her dad (my boyfriend). That's life and she is happy and that's ALL that matters to me. lol


sharra - Wednesday, 23 July
Uuggg. That is so cool about the twin part. I am a twin and I weighed 8.5 lbs and my brother weighed just a little more than I! My poor mother, she was on bedrest for her whole pregnancy and gained like 75 lbs! She had preclamsia and she was in the hospital for the last month and half! I have no room to bitch! But, I do hope you get some rest. Do your kids help you? My daughter has been put to work now, but she is five, so it is about time! You have a great outlook. 8 weeks is just around the corner-take care.


cantwaittoseemybaby - Tuesday, 22 July
Girl I haven't even started. Remember I was telling you the situation with my mom. She was telling me not to get anything because she wants me to have the shower first and then get whatever else I need then. So I was like cool. Well since we have had the falling out I find out from my grandmother that she is not giving me one. I should have just started buying things anyway cause I know how my mother is. Yeah my daughter used to go to NJ to visit her dad every summer but he started telling my daughter why we ain't together and this other mess so I stopped that real quick. I used to miss my baby so much. I know how you feel. I'm technical support for a dumb company. I hate it here. I also do the travel agency thing on the side. What type of work do you do?


cantwaittoseemybaby - Tuesday, 22 July
Yeah I know what you mean. You can get bored very fast sitting in the house. Atleast you don't have to be bothered with work. It is driving me crazy. Not too much longer to go then I can switch jobs cause this place is a mess. lol I am going to stay home with her as long as I can. Yeah my boyfriend is excited as well. We can't wait. It's going by fast though. I would love to have a quiet house. Just not happening. lol


leonna - Tuesday, 22 July
aww...i hope u get better ma...i'm doing alot better......


jlynn - Tuesday, 22 July
Oh my gosh, I was in the same boat. Tylenol PM helps, my midwife said I could take it. And I bought a body pillow. The last two nights of sleep have been great!!! My hips don't hurt, my legs don't hurt,and either does my belly. I recommend it highly. I did not use one with my first baby, but this time I am much bigger, and like you was getting NO sleep. Wine will make you tired initially, but then you will wake up at 4 in the morning wide awake. : ) Good luck!!


cantwaittoseemybaby - Monday, 21 July
Awww. Try to sleep as much as you can during the day. You're on bed rest right? I find if I sleep during the day on the weekends I feel so much better. Still can't sleep at night but it's ok cause I slept during the day. I should get my results back in a couple of days. She wants me not to gain anymore weight. She told me to drink less juice and milk. She wants me to drink reduced fat milk as opposed to drinking whole milk. I hate reduced fat milk but it's only for 2 more months right. She also wants me to get a C section. Since they keep bothering me about it we are just going to get it done. I guess. We talked briefly in the car when he was dropping me off. I told him I hate the recovery and he was like I'm here and will help you so don't worry about that.


sharra - Monday, 21 July
Ya poor thing. why do think you are not sleeping? Are you drinking any caffine? You know....my doctor says it is okay to have 4oz red wine a week. But red wine is not the cure. Can you use any tylenol pm? I can use it a couple times a week per doctor. Try taking a bath or breathing exercises before bed. Cal Meg helps at night- which we all need for our bones. Can you rest during the day? I know I am picking your brain. Or....call your doctor if you can get a sleep aid. Those can be used in some situations. I remember last week you wrote about this too, so if its a problem talk to your dr. Good luck sweetie.


carnell5 - Monday, 21 July
We didn't find out about the twins either until I was 5 months along. I also went to the hospital at about 3 months because I wasn't breathing right and I couldn't get enough air either. They couldn't find anything wrong. When I went to my last appt at 28 weeks, they said the girls weighed a little over 2-1/2 lbs. I never know how they are positioned because after every ultrasound they move around constantly for the next 2 days. I feel pretty good though....tired!!


leonna - Monday, 21 July
hi stranger!


cantwaittoseemybaby - Friday, 18 July
I'm not sure how much she weighs as of right now but I can tell she weighs alot because when I try to roll out the bed and actuall sit up it's like Whoa baby. I have to sit there for a minute or two. My last ultrasound was May 29 and she was 1 lb. I have a doctor appt Monday. I am going to ask her when I go. Girl she was kicking my boyfriend hand last night when I was trying to sleep so after awhile he moved his hand thinking so will stop kicking so I can sleep. She started going crazy, kicking and punching like she was mad. So I made him put his hand back so she can calm down and she did. I don't know what that was all about. lol How are you and your little princesses doing.


cantwaittoseemybaby - Thursday, 17 July
The bouncing back part isn't scaring me it's the pushing that I'm worried about. I don't want to have another C section but at the rate I'm going it looks like I will have another one. I hate the recovery from the C section because it takes so long.


cantwaittoseemybaby - Thursday, 17 July
Ok I just got off the scale. Why did I do that? With my first daughter I weighed 120 before I got pregnant and 140 when I had her and she wore 7 lbs 15 ounces. With this pregnancy I was 120 before I got pregnant and now I am 181. How am I going to make it another 2 months. I will be 200 lbs by then with a 15 lb baby. I am so scared!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
